Trevor "Skull Thumper" Ariza Both Curry and Thompson will never forget him. Or completely blackout all memory. Either way.
He is a gangster on D and MMA. That flying knee to the head for the knockout was absolutely fantastic. Then prior to that the no handed death drop on to the head was phenomenal.
He set us up to win game 6 by giving Klay Thompson a concussion.. too bad we couldn't pull it off in game 5.
I will never for the life of me understand why you have to be such a complete turd. Are you really ok with everyone knowing you as the McGrady Hater rather than the Clutch City Fanatic? Bc at this point, more people associate you as the former, and that's really sad.
ariza should have kicked harder so that Klay will be out of the finals, that's a more fair matchup for the Cavs
you're the second person mentioning that guy. no, ARIZA actually had a better shot in the playoffs ARIZA 3 point % <PRE> Season Age Tm Lg Pos G GS MP FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% 2P 2PA 2P% eFG% FT FTA FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS 2014-15 29 HOU NBA SF 17 17 38.5 4.4 10.4 .426 2.1 5.6 .375 2.3 4.7 .488 .528 2.2 2.5 .905 1.1 5.4 6.4 2.6 1.8 0.1 1.3 3.0 13.2 Career NBA 69 57 30.7 3.9 8.4 .457 1.6 3.8 .418 2.3 4.7 .489 .551 1.7 2.4 .699 1.1 4.2 5.3 2.1 1.3 0.3 1.2 2.6 10.9 1 season HOU NBA 17 17 38.5 4.4 10.4 .426 2.1 5.6 .375 2.3 4.7 .488 .528 2.2 2.5 .905 1.1 5.4 6.4 2.6 1.8 0.1 1.3 3.0 13.2 </PRE> MCGRADY 3 point % <PRE> Season Age Tm Lg Pos G GS MP FG FGA FG% 3P 3PA 3P% 2P 2PA 2P% eFG% FT FTA FT% ORB DRB TRB AST STL BLK TOV PF PTS 2004-05 25 HOU NBA SF 7 7 43.0 11.1 24.4 .456 2.4 6.6 .370 8.7 17.9 .488 .506 6.0 7.3 .824 1.7 5.7 7.4 6.7 1.6 1.4 3.7 2.9 30.7 2006-07 27 HOU NBA SG 7 7 40.0 9.0 22.9 .394 1.3 5.1 .250 7.7 17.7 .435 .422 6.0 8.1 .737 0.7 5.1 5.9 7.3 0.7 0.9 3.0 1.7 25.3 2007-08 28 HOU NBA SG 6 6 41.2 10.3 24.3 .425 0.8 4.0 .208 9.5 20.3 .467 .442 5.5 8.8 .623 1.2 7.0 8.2 6.8 1.5 0.8 3.0 1.3 27.0 3 seasons HOU NBA 20 20 41.4 10.2 23.9 .426 1.6 5.3 .292 8.6 18.6 .464 .458 5.9 8.1 .727 1.2 5.9 7.1 7.0 1.3 1.1 3.3 2.0 27.7 </PRE>
With all the trade rumors that are going to be flying around, I really hope we keep Ariza. His defense has been invaluable and is something you can count on every game. Sometimes I feel like he's the only guys on this team with some stones.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Ariza in the regular season or when he was here a few years ago but damn he was good in these playoffs. I agree, he showed the most balls and heart of any player on the team. He wasn't afraid to take the big shots and made them when he shot. His defense was pretty great too. I really hope we keep him.
You're really funny- this is not ESPN where you have a bunch of imbeciles- many of us are intelligent and see right through you. If I have to, I'll explain for the unaware: Tinman specifically points out #1 in this thread b/c as anyone who has spent a modicum of time on this site realizes, he has an abnormal obsession over hating Tracy McGrady. Tracy McGrady wore #1 for the Rockets, so Tinman's pointing out the players wearing #1 who have gone to the WCF is clearly a backhanded shot at McGrady- even though it's laughable to compare McGrady, a near Hall of Fame player, with Scott Brooks. There is no doubt that anyone who is familiar with Tinman and his posting history would know exactly why he points out #1 and those players, rather than simply saying "Props to Trevor Ariza." It is so obvious that the fact he includes his stupid "Huh?" up there only further insults our intelligence. However, because there are a few who might have missed it, I wanted to point it out to you. As I said, Tinman has digressed from Clutch City Fanatic to Tracy McGrady Hater in his ClutchFans legacy, and it is unfortunate b/c I much preferred branding him as a 99er or CC Crazy or something positive like that. Instead, he will wear this negative T-Mac moniker as an albatross around his neck for the rest of his CF existence. And he brought it all on himself.
